Lemongrass chicken skewers with a peanuty sweet chili sauce are perfect served with jasmine rice & a cucumber salad or some steamed French beans. Quick to prepare & even faster to cook this recipe is not only handy to have in your summer grilling arsenal but it also doubles as a nice appetizer by popping it under the broiler in those cooler months when you mightn’t fancy brushing the snow off your barbie. 

lemongrass chicken skewers

As you know, lemongrass is very woody but if you have a blender or a food processor, one of those can do the hard work for you. Its aroma & flavor impart such fresh, summery notes, lately I’ve been cooking more with lemongrass. As much as I love lemons, they’re not a substitute for lemongrass, source the real deal. Most grocery stores carry it, Asian markets or grow a plant, it’ll help keep the mozzies away, just keep it in a pot or it’ll take over your garden.

The peanut sweet chili sauce is pretty special. Three ingredients – peanut butter, sweet chili sauce & lime juice. Sauce, done! Now feel free to sub a nut butter such as cashew or almond. I love cashew butter but it was $8 compared to the $2 something peanut butter. I was on a budget so peanut butter it was. Or is…

The lemongrass marinade I made in one of the cups of my Ninja Blender making light work of that for me. And I opted for chicken tenderloins (tenders) so there was no slicing & dicing of the chicken. Then the three ingredient sauce that’s embarrassingly easy. Now, I have to confess, I was desperately ill taking these pics – not because of the chicken – NO! I’m not sure what it was, but I literally had to shoot it & collapse into bed so the pics are pretty straightforward. My apologies. Don’t let that deter you from how good this recipe is. We’ve made it three times recently after I made a similar version for the English Khoollect Mag. I hope you make it over & over again too. Until next time , Lovoni xo

Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s fune Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s funeral. Sadly mum passed away on Wednesday & the world suddenly became less joyful, less stylish & definitely less clean & tidy. Gardens are now less pretty & food not as tasty for mum was both a fabulous cook & had the most beautiful garden. Most of you who might take the time to read this never had the honour of meeting my mum but if you had met her, she would be your friend & confidant for life. She played both mum & dad to my sis & I after our father left but we never seemed to want for anything. She was a shining star who always encouraged me to follow my dreams, even when it meant me moving halfway around the world. That just made us closer. She will be missed by those who love her ♥️
Here are some random pics: the first is mum & I in a tiny church in Drummheller, Alberta, Canada. There is one of mum in her bikini drinking a scotch at Palm Beach in Sydney (snarky me on the left in that pic). The last one is mum as a bridesmaid holding my sister. There’s one with my niece when she was little. I love the one where mum has decorated herself in daisy chains. Good memories.

Lemon Coconut Syrup Loaf - cold, snowy days calls Lemon Coconut Syrup Loaf - cold, snowy days calls for some cake. I have a nostalgic fondness for any sort of loaf cake. There’s something wholesome and reassuring about a cake cooked in a loaf pan. Not at all showy, a slice invokes, at times, a much-needed sense of security. It reminds me of mum and my nan, of times past back in my home in Sydney. I don’t recall if either mum or nan every made a Coconut Citrus Syrup Loaf but I know they both would of loved this recipe with its citrus tartness and the wonderfully sticky bottom from the syrup. Lovely just served on its own, it’s particularly good served with a dollop of clotted cream.
